BWXT • Oak Ridge, TN

8d • Onsite

About The Position

The Project Scheduler for BWXT Enrichment Operations is the authoritative scheduling lead for schedule development, critical-path analysis, baseline management, and performance forecasting across high-value enrichment programs. The role independently establishes, maintains, and integrates complex resource-loaded schedules for initiatives spanning design, experimental testing, construction, manufacturing readiness, and operational deployment. The position requires mastery of Primavera P6, expertise in DOE nuclear-capital scheduling standards, and the ability to provide data-driven insight into schedule risks, constraints, and performance trends to inform program strategy.

The role is based on-site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The scheduler works across project teams and supports schedule integrity, risk management, compliance, reporting, and continuous improvement for Enrichment Operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in project management, business, engineering, construction management, or a related discipline; equivalent experience may be considered.
• At least seven years of progressive experience in project scheduling, project controls, earned-value management, or cost/schedule integration in DOE, nuclear, industrial, or other highly technical environments; ten or more years is preferred.
• Mastery of Primavera P6, critical-path methodology, resource loading, and development of Level 1–5 schedules.
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage integrated cost/schedule baselines for large, complex programs in the multi-hundred-million- to multi-billion-dollar range.
• Ability to interpret technical engineering inputs, coordinate multidisciplinary schedule logic, and support field-level construction or execution schedules.
• Strong analytical skills and a track record of identifying risks, diagnosing trends, and recommending corrective or preventive actions.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to influence stakeholders across engineering, operations, regulatory, and program leadership.
• Experience implementing automation tools, utilities, or AI-assisted workflow enhancements for scheduling or reporting.

Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and manage detailed, resource-loaded schedules covering development, experimental, construction, and operational phases for Enrichment Operations projects.
• Build and maintain integrated master schedules using Primavera P6 and applying DOE, EVMS, and capital-program scheduling requirements.
• Own schedule baseline creation, integration, and maintenance for complex technical programs as the scheduling subject-matter authority.
• Coordinate with project managers and engineering, operations, maintenance, supply chain, safety, environmental, and security teams to collect inputs, validate schedule logic, and resolve constraints.
• Perform critical-path analysis, identify trends, forecast performance, and recommend schedule or execution-strategy adjustments.
• Prepare routine and ad hoc schedule reports, dashboards, SPI/CPI metrics, forecasts, and at-completion projections for leadership.
• Conduct schedule-impact assessments, scenario modeling, procurement alignment reviews, and execution-sequencing analyses to support risk management.
• Ensure compliance with DOE scheduling requirements, BWXT controls, change-management processes, and configuration-control practices.
• Implement automation, data-pipeline improvements, and digital workflow enhancements to improve schedule integrity and reduce reporting cycle time.
• Participate in project reviews, design coordination sessions, constructability assessments, and implementation planning meetings as the scheduling authority.
• Promote continuous improvement in scheduling processes, tools, standards, automation, and digital capabilities.
